Abstract
The construction sector has lagged behind regarding quality development. Though quality issues have become the major concern in the construction industry, there is an absence of the theory that propagates construction quality which lead to quality performance. This paper discusses the adaptation criteria for the Malaysian contractors that could be adapt for the management as well as the staff. Extensive literature reviews were done to identify adaptation criteria within the Malaysian context. Therefore, this paper encourages the contractors to implement these criteria in the workplace to improve the quality of life of contractors that will lead to project success.
